In all my days of computer time,
A lot of people I have met,
Some I speak to only one time,
Others I will for an eternity.

All walks of life interest me,
Any language translated on line.
Of all of them, this I will say,
The friendship of you and I is unique.

You only ask of anyone,
Be honest and be yourself.
Words have never been easy for me,
In verse I seem to say more freely.

You have shown the world,
What I have to say.
You encourage me to share my soul,
And gave me a place to show it.

You are a special person,
One I am very happy to know.
A friend in the truest way,
Just being who you are.

So as I say what I mean,
Hear me what I say.
I value your friendship this day,
The most precious gift you give.
